Received the Australian Freight Industry Award for Best Safety Program 2011.
Over 200,000 DVD packs by demand to over 50 countries, subtitled in 4 languages by others.
Proven results in significant crash reduction overall, not just rollovers
Companies implementing the program principles have realised increases in productivity including • fuel savings• reduction of wear and tear, and maintenance costs.• reduction of OH&S issues and costs

Heavy Vehicle Rollover Protection Program
Black Spur roll-over prevention project• 23m B/Double access arrangements• Roll-overs were an ongoing issue• Log trucks/Jinkers have a high Centre of Gravity
(CoG) and are more susceptible to a roll over• Code of Behaviour a requirement• Electronic Braking System (EBS) on all trailers a
requirement of access (within 12 months 2009/10)• 80% of the value in trailers
![Page 16: Freight Week September 2013](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062302/56816726550346895ddbba96/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Heavy Vehicle Rollover Protection ProgramBlack Spur roll-over prevention project• Prime movers required within 5 years. • Logging operators accepted trailer initiative but were against
Prime Movers based on cost, lack of ability to retro fit EBS especially on US vehicles and overall benefit to roll over prevention.
• VicRoads accepted that the prime mover inclusion would be problematic especially in line with the NHVR looking at future safety related issues.
• Resulting in NO B/Double roll over's on the Black Spur since the introduction of EBS on trailers.
• Calls from logging contractors expressing the benefit of reduced costs resulting from roll over damage and reduced loss of productivity. Supported by leading trailer manufacturer and repairer.
